In this video I’m sharing a technique I’ve been working with in the past couple of weeks with anxiety. It could also be useful for physical pain, grief, anger, even distraction / attention issues.
To sum up the process:
1. ASK AND LISTEN. Ask your anxiety (pain, anger, grief, etc.) what is going on for it. Listen to the responses that come up for you.
2. VALIDATE. Validate each thing that comes up. For example, “Yes. I AM really tired,” “Yes, I DO wish someone could take over on this,” “Yes, this IS really hard.”
3. CONTINUE UNTIL DONE. Continue asking it (and by “it” I mean your inner self that has something going on) what’s going on until it (your inner self) has shared everything that’s going on at the moment.
4. INVITE INTO HEALING. Invite your inner self into a healing modality or grounding technique. Here is a helpful resource for this: https://www.healthline.com/health/grounding-techniques
Let me know if you try this out and it’s helpful for you!
